Scotland 3 – The Scott Monument

The Scott Monument was built in memory of Sir Walter Scott, one of Scotland’s greatest writers. It started on the 15th August 1840 (the anniversary of Scott’s birthday) and was completed in the Fall of 1844. It is 200 feet 6 inches high. There are 287 steps to the top where there are magnificent views of Edinburgh and beyond. The large statue of Sir Walter Scott is in Italian Carrara marble was sculpted by John Steell.

There are 64 statues on the monument, mostly characters from Scott’s novels, with some figures from Scottish history. We were there in a beautiful August day and the flowers amazing!

Rhinebeck and more!

OK! It took me a while to settle down and write about Rhinebeck! I had such a great time and such a positive response that kept me wound up for days! The show is much more than I expected in every way: it is bigger, well organized, nicer than I thought it would be. Everybody you see walking around is happy with what they purchased, food or fiber or both. The variety of fiber and animals are amazing: from dog fiber with a “halo” and neon colors to Qiviuk and Cashmere and all that wool we love.
I have taught 6 classes from Thursday to Sunday. The staff (including all volunteers I met) were just the nicest people and all worked hard to make this event a success.

The teachers get to stay in a Bed & Breakfast in Red Hood, a beautiful Victorian house!

What else would you want in a long weekend? Teach what  you love, shop for yarn, wine, and chocolate and be fed with inspiration for knitting projects you can hardly sleep?Hope to be back next year!
